lyrics

TROMPE L’OREILLE
A strange rhythmic sound emerged through the air
A chirring, a whirring vibration was there
Like rapid mechanics
It grew louder then softer
It’s speed seemed to waver
A thin thread of sound
A hemi semiquaver
Presenting dynamics
Always just about to stop but never quite ceasing
It’s soft introspection and gentle increasing
I went nearer, it paused
I retreated, it grew
Embedded deep inside the silence

Sometimes masked by a passing breeze as it blew amongst the branches of
trees
It seemed at times to come from my brain with signals as subtle as vapours of
rain
Very close and intimate but far off and illusive
The capture of a passing voice, singular, exclusive

But soon it was fading
Forgotten, hard to recall
Did I really hear anything at all?
